Hidden In Hell

chapter two

I walk up to my room and see someone in front of my door
"Um hello? Who are you?" I ask?
"Oh, me. I'm not anyone important. The staff wanted me to make sure you got home safe." A man in a suite says
"Um, how did they know I was gone?"
"Cleaning lady, "
"Is there any way I can have that canceled. I can tame care of myself"
"Sure, I'll send a word to the headmaster."
"Thank you." I walk into my room and put down my bags. "Well, that was weird. Hmm" I go through all of my clothes, taking the tags off. Well, I might as well get in the shower. I get out of the shower and look at the time, 6:57 okay, that gives me 17 minutes to finish getting ready. I put on my uniform and collect all of my school things. I finally head out after 10 minutes. I head to the cafeteria that the dorm has and get some breakfast. Really, all this stuff is so expensive- I think to myself, so I just get a pop tart and head on out. I walk into the school building to see very few people about. I head to my locker, trying to avoid as many people as possible.
"Hello again, " a male voice says
"Um, hello? Who are you again? I'm sorry, " I say.
"Oh, its no problem, I'd hide."
"Ah, right sorry about that"
"Anyway, what's your first class?"
"Math, what about you?"
"I have English." He paused and sighed.
"Well, I have to get going. See you at lunch?"
"Sure, I'll see you then." Sounded a little sad. And I felt a little sorry, but I have to head to class. I stop at my locker, drop my things off and go to math. I headed in and still few people were in. I guess I'll just sit and draw again. I go to my seat and take out my things. After a good 10 minutes, the teacher finally says "good morning class, today we're going to be learning about-" and that's where I cut him out. Why am I in this class. I've already learned all of this. Plus my arm hurts. And I can't go to the nurse about that. The bell rings and everyone gets up to leave. I put in my headphones before walking out the door.
"Hey, you again!"
"Yeah? Oh hey, hide, " I say after realizing who it is.
"I was wondering if you could help me on my English project?"
"Um, sure. Although I'm not taking English this quarter."
"I just figured you would be helpful, plus you're my only friend."
"I'll help meet up at the entrance at 3:30?" I say.
"Yup. I'll be there."
"So will I. But I have to get going to class, see ya later."
"Yup, see ya later!"
On to science. I walk in early as usual. Again take out all of my stuff and draw.
"Okay, class so I didn't get a chance to introduce the new student. Why don't you come up here and introduce yourself?" The teacher says. So I awkwardly walk up to the front of the class and say, "Hello, my name is Reilly Hughes. And I guess I like to draw" then I walk back my seat.
"Hey, Reilly right?" Says the person sitting next to me.
"Yeah?" I ask.
"Do you have any idea what the hell is going on in this class. I mean the teacher is totally nuts." She says.
"Yeah-" I explain what's going on to her.
"Hey. Thank much man. Oh, I'm Lucy. What's your number? Maybe we chat sometime." Lucy says
"Um, my number is 561-xxx-xxxx (A/N don't mind the numbers)
" Ok mine is xxx-xxx-xxxx."
"Thanks."
"Yup I'll talk to you later. But we need to pay attention to-"
the teacher walks up behind me and says "what are the two of you talking about?"
Lucy looks worried so I'll take care of it.
"Well you see, sir, Lucy was asking about what was happening in class, because she was confused. So I helped her. Plus all of this material is basic life science. The average 7th grader knows it. And if she missed anything I could easily take responsibility and help her. So now if you'll excuse me. Don't you have a class to teach?" With that, I sat back down and looked forward. Hope he wouldn't add anything. After about 30 seconds I look back at him to see him dumbfounded. I just smirk and look forward. The teacher goes back to his seat and continues to teach. After another half hour, the bell rings and everyone heads to lunch.
"Hey, yo wanna sit with me and my friends?" Lucy says.
"I would, but there is already someone I'm going to sit with. Bye" I wave and head to the table I sat at yesterday. I lay my head down and listen to music while waiting for hide.
"Hai"
"Oh, hey hide. Took ya long enough."
"It's only been ten minutes since the bell rang, I don't have home lunch like you. I need to wait through the line."
"Sucks man. Anyways, wanna talk about the plan for the English project?"
"Like what?"
"Like who's place where going to. What time we need to leave bye. That stuff."
"Oh, well my place is a disaster. My sister would kill me if I brought anyone over."
"Okay. We'll do it at my place then. What time do you need to be home bye?"
"Around 10 O'clock."
"Okay. How far away do you live away from school?"
"About five minutes walking."
"Okay. You'll probably have to leave at 9:30." After that, we sit and eat in mostly silence.
"Hey, you bitch!" Says the same girl as yesterday.
"Yes? Oh, it's you again what do you want?"
"I want to shut you the fuck up."
"Yeah, I don't have time for this. So if you could please leave that would be great." I simile while saying it.
"Argh, you bitc-" she gets interrupted by school staff.
"Miss, could you refrain from such vulgar language."
"Oh, fuck off." She says to the staff member.
"Ok. To the headmaster's office, we go." He takes a pause and then says "Sorry about that. I'll make sure she won't bother you again."
"Oh. It's no problem, sir."
"Wait. Have you been yelled at by her before?!" Hide asks.
"Yeah, yesterday. She was talking about 'putting me in my place' whatever that means."
"Ah. I heard she's one of the teacher's daughters."
"Oh, hmm. Well, maybe she's just power hungry, nothing we can do about it. "
"I guess it's true. Well, I'm done with my lunch and I heard there's a new really good book in the library. Gotta go."
"Bye. See ya."
"Yup see ya." With that, I go back to sitting alone. After all, my other classes hide and I meet up at the entrance of the school.
"Do you have everything for your project?"
"Yup got it all here in my bag. Do you have everything you need?"
"Yup. Okay, let's go." So we start walking to the dorms. Have I told him I live in a dorm yet? "Oh, by the way, I live in a dorm."
"Oh, cool. Y'know I want to be in a dorm, but there to expense. Even if I have discounted prices."
"Ah" I simply say. "Hey, wanna stop and get some food."
"Sure that sounds great." So we head to a local diner and get burgers to bring home. We walk to our destination and on the way, point out different pretty lights. Who knew lights would be so pretty. We finally get to the dorms after ten minutes of walking.
"So this is the dorm building you live in?"
"Yeah. My dorm number is 3-13"
"13, eh. Unlucky number."
"Haha, I don't think so. I think that's its a number that goes unappreciated."
"I guess"
"Well let's go to my dorm" we walk in and I set all my stuff down by my desk.
"Well, here's your food, " I say while handing his food to him.
"Thanks"
"Yup, no problem."  We start to eat then I ask "so what is this English project?"
"You see we have to do a report on an author from a book we read, but I don't read too much and you seem like a person who reads."
"Ok, you got that right. Are there any books you like?"
"I guess I would have to say my favorite book series is the 'his dark materials' trilogy."
"Ah, that's a good one. The author is Philip Pullman." I get out my laptop provided by the school and search 'his dark materials, Philip Pullman.' When suddenly there is a knock on the door.
